So because I’ve been doing so much running, I decided to enter the City to Surf for real. I did one back in Sydney ages back but as a walker; the Perth one is shorter (12km compared to 14km and no giant hill) and I’ve run that distance before so I felt it was manageable!
It was actually pretty fun with lots of spectactors cheering us on throughout the course, including a taiko drum performance near the end!
I was feeling pretty good and managing to nose breathe during flats but I think next time (if I decide to do another one!) I need to try to get into the faster wave because crowd weaving is hard work!
Google Maps and Google Health both had different distances and times recorded but that heart rate lol! I guess the adrenaline and fun of it all masked some of that insane heart rate! I did run all of the inclines, the elevation map did show some hills but in the excitement I managed to power through them!
Very happy with my time, thanks to a very good brekky! Also timed my water intake well so the water stations didn’t slow me down too much!
